Just Sharing

I finally have something to write about. Just came home from Florida. I spent four splendid days with my entire family. It was one of my favorite trips yet, even though I had to come home four days before the rest of the gang. I am very fortunate that I was able to go for at least four days. I did miss my flight last night and was able to squeeze in another night at the jacuzzi hanging with the gang.
I was very sad to leave them. My family all live relatively close to me, and I see and talk to them often. However, there was something really cool about all of us being in one place and spending time together. We went on a cruise around the intercoastal canal, grilled out by the ocean twice, went to a huge flea market, and spent a lot of time on the beach and around the pool. I feel like we ate every couple hours, I think we did. I went sea shell hunting every morning with my nieces. We all carried our little grocery bags and walked down to the lighthouse to find the perfect shell.
My niece's made me cry when I said goodbye. They are the sweetest little girls. Then as soon as I arrived in Pittsburgh my parents sent me a text saying that they missed me already and it wasn't the same without me. That sent me into another emo-episode. I had to come to work as soon as I arrived into town so I didn't have much time to dwell on it. I was supposed to be at work by 6 am this morning, but like I said I MISSED MY FLIGHT! Strolled in about 1:30pm. My boss isn't happy about that, and I feel really awful because she went out of her way to let me go in the first place.
Enough about that, I am no longer sad, I am truly appreciative that I have my family. The fact that we are all healthy, happy, and loved. I feel like I have assumed that for way to long, so this trip just made me realize that my family is precious. We are all completely different, slightly insane, but very much loved, and that is what it is all about after all, right?
